The audience had been so captivated just now that they forgot there were two red pandas here.
"What was the name of the other one?"
"emmm... If I remember correctly, it's called Red Bean."
"Director, where is Red Bean?"
"Could Red Bean be sick?" an audience member immediately expressed concern.
Fang Ye glanced at the exhibit, laughing, "Red Bean is here too, but you just haven't found him. Look again more carefully?"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, the audience immediately widened their eyes and started searching every corner carefully.
Suddenly, someone excitedly exclaimed, "I see it!"

"Oh, so it's there (pretending to have seen it)"
"Well, would you tell us where it is?"
"Up in the tree, on the branch of the tree on the right!"
The audience followed the guidance of this comment and began to observe the tree on the right closely, and indeed, behind the dense leaves of the triangular branch, a dark shadow could just be discerned.
Although it was well hidden, a bushy tail was fidgeting restlessly beneath the green leaves, betraying its presence.
Lan Li zoomed in the camera and there was Red Bean, hiding there, peering through the leaves at the visitors carefully. The white cheeks and eyebrows could be seen through the gaps in the leaves.
Perhaps finding the view insufficient, Red Bean stretched out a paw and quietly pushed the leaves aside, allowing the audience a clear view. Its little mouth slightly open, tongue sticking out, it looked both clueless and cute.
The little round face against a backdrop of green leaves looked like a red panda fruit had grown on the tree.
"Your little cutie suddenly appears.jpg"
"It can even stick out its tongue, too cute~"
"Wuu wuu wuu, I really want to hug and kiss it."
"Ah, this is making me anxious to watch!"
"Wuwuwu, I feel so bad for her, hurry up and carry her down!"
Fang Ye laughed and said, "You guys are worrying over nothing. As arboreal animals, climbing trees for red pandas is as natural as breathing, an ability etched in their genes. Does anyone worry that they might suddenly forget how to breathe one day?"
Sure enough, Red Bean suddenly loosened her grip on the tree, her front paws naturally found the branch below, and her body lightly bounced. Then, head downward, her two hind legs wrapped around the trunk of the tree, climbing down smoothly and steadily bit by bit.
When nearing the bottom, she slid to the ground with a swish, so fast!
Just after landing, still with her mouth open, she looked around nervously. Once she assured herself that everything was safe, she relaxed, trotted off with her little short legs, and bounced towards the resting perch.
It looked like she wanted to bask in the sun, too!
While she could sunbathe in the tree too, the spot where one sunbathes matters. The wide horizontal beams on the perch allowed her to sprawl comfortably and fully soak up the sun, making it an excellent spot.
Of course, the weather today was good, and the temperature was not too high. If the sun were too blisteringly hot, then a shady spot under the leaves or a flat and cool big rock under the cave's canopy would be better choices.
The perches weren't limited to one; they were distributed throughout the exhibit area, consisting of many round logs. Some were horizontal, forming bridges at various heights, while others were slanted against trees. Red Bean didn't go to the perch where Chestnut was lying; she chose another perch further back.
Parrots are gregarious animals that like to be amid bustle, whereas red pandas are solitary in the wild, rarely interacting with other adults outside of the breeding season. Even in groups, it would be a small troop of a female red panda with several cubs.
The relationship between Chestnut and Red Bean was neither good nor bad; there was no bullying between them, nor were they close enough to sunbathe together intimately.
A netizen asked curiously, "Director, why do red pandas love sunbathing so much?"
Suddenly, everyone started to discuss it in a buzz.
"Red pandas are cats too, isn't it normal for them to enjoy the sun?"
"Right, my cat just lies on the balcony sunbathing whenever it's free, sunbathing until the sun sets. In winter, it even likes to bake by the heater. Last time it almost singed its fur."
"Actually, it's not basking in the sun. It's transmitting the Earth's information back to its home planet through electromagnetic waves reflected by its fur. See its two ears? Those are signal amplifiers~ Soon the Earth will be occupied by an army of red pandas."
"Isn't that beautiful?"
"I like sunbathing too, it's so comfortable."
"Dogs like sunbathing as well."
"???? Somehow I feel like you're insulting me."
"Hahahaha, I can't stop laughing, the netizens are so talented."
